I have some rear R33 GTR Brembos to go on my car, I want to do a double check on fitment issues before attempting this.

 

I believe these do simply bolt on, although I have read that the bolt threads are different so does anyone know if this is true and what bolts I will need?

 

Also the calipers did not come with any brake lines, I have rear braided lines on the car at the moment which go from the car to the standard rear z32 caliper, will these be okay? Or do I need a hybrid line from "nissan to brembo" or what? I have a place that can make me the lines no problem, im just not sure what should be on each end!

 

I've just bought some new pads, and the discs that came with the calipers look in reasonable condition so i'll use those first of all.

 

The last problem I have is that the calipers arrived with the wrong pins, well one caliper has its pair of correct pad pins, but the other has a random pair which are from something else. (I have both retaining springs) I have called up a couple of places and its coming in at £40 or so for the pins which i think is pretty excessive, does anyone have any or know where i might find a more keenly priced pair?

Buummpppp!

Hi mate - how's it going?! :)

 

Thought I'd chime in with some info that I've got to hand.

 

The R33GT-R (RB26DETT) uses 300mm, 22mm thick, 68mm centre bore discs which will fit the rear hub of the Z32 without problems. However, the stock Z32 rear discs are 292mm, 18mm thick affairs (which is the same as the R32GT-R RB26DET). I don't know this from personal experience so please don't take my word for gospel but I do believe that the R33GT-R rear caliper will bolt on directly onto the Z32 hub without problems. I know that the fronts do so it stands to reason that the rears do as well but as you know nothing is ever "straight forward" where it concerns Nissan cars ;) LOL.

 

As for the braided brake lines, the ones you've got should be fine to go into the new Brembo calipers (I believe it takes the same 10x1mm male adapter as the Z32 caliper).

 

I'm afraid I don't know anything about the bolt thread (pitch) or caliper pins so can't help with that.

 

Hope that the above has been of some use to you.

 

All the best,

Thats great mate! Its going okay cheers, busy busy, not much time to spend with/on the zed but i do get a drive it most weeks lol.

 

I have a set of discs with the calipers just no pads, but they are on the way. To be honest I'll be doing a trial fitment before then i expect, just take the old caliper of but leave it on its line and go from there. What i really wanted to know was that the braided line would fit, as when im doing this if i disconnect the line from the old caliper i dont really want to have to reconect it because it doesnt fit! mainly because its a waste of time, would rather just get the job done in one hit and also because id have to then rebleed the brakes!
